These streets of Havana are SO narrow that
in some Of them the carriages are compelled
to go in one direction only. When they re-
turn they must go back by another street.
The sidewalks are not over three feet wide,
and it is not possible for two persons TO walk
abreast upon them. The better class of
Cubans seldom walk, and the cabbys are
freely called upon. The cab of Havana is u
low Victoria holding tUo or three persons
Their tops come down so as to shade the eyes,
and they have springs which keep every
molecule of your body in motion while you
ride in them. The horses used are hardy
mongrel little pony like animals who look as
though they were seldom fed and never
cleaned. A single ride costs about twenty
cents and You can have one for q whole hont-
for forty cents. 3
The volante, which was for years as much
the vehicle of Cuba as the jaunting car is of
Ireland, is now seldom seen in Havana,
though it is still used in the country. It is
curiosity to strangers, and it has shafts six
teen feet long, and two wheels which are six
yards in circumference. The country roads
of interior Cuba are said to be worse than
corduroy, and the volante is the only vehicle
which rides easily over them. It Is guided
usually by postillion in livery, and the
Cuban coachman puts on as much style as
his English or American brother.

The traffic of Havana is largely done by
oxen, and the two wheeled cart is used exclu-
sively. This cart is roughly made and it has
a tongue as thick as railroad tie, nailed to
the body of the cart, and which extends to
the heads of the oxen and is there fastened hy
q great woke directly to the horns The
Cuban OK pulls by his head and not his
shoulders. This yoke is strapped by ropes
across the foreheads Of the oxen, and they
move along with their heads down, pushing
great loads with their foreheads They are
guided by rope reins fastened to ring in the
nose of the OK. Some Of the carts are for
single OK. and these have shafts of about the
same railroad tie thickness, which are fastened
to yoke which is put over the horns in the
same manner. Everything is of the rudest
construction and the Egyptians of to-day are
as well of in this regard

The horse and mule are also used in Havana
business, and the harness is much like that of
Spain. Each animal has gay saddle
of many colored leather at the foot
of the name. and every cart horse is deco
rated with two red tassels as big as q fly
brush at each ear and one Of the same
size under his chin. If his driver be we'll
